INVESTORS READ THIS.

A week or two ago there came to
Anaheim ten families, seeking houses
to rent, while they could buy lot and
build for themselves. There was not
one cottage even to divide with the
ten families. There is not a store to
be had to open new business. There
is demand for houses and stores.
Anaheim has two amusement halls.
but she needs fine opera house. The
citizens are contemplating the erection
of one. Any person who will build q
house in Anaheim will rent it at a
good per centage on its cost the day it is
built. He who will put up a store will
find tenant as quickly. His money
will be invested well Tor all time te
come. There is room for great ex.
pansion, the growth has begun and il
will continue.

r. N. Walton and Messrs. Newsom
Brothers were visited yesterday by a
HERALD representative and they
agreed with other architects that there
is q great demand for carpenters,
brick layers and workmen Of all
kinds. They said that their hands
were full Of orders for plans for new
buildings and there seemed to be no
doubt but the city will grow wonder
fully in the next year. The high
price of building material and its
scarcity is somewhat OF a drawback to
the building boom, that is, some
people have been deferred from
building on this account, but with all.

AN ESCAPE.

An Important witness Digs Out
of the City Prison.
A few weeks ago several prisoners
escaped from the city prison and
early yesterday morning Frank Nc
Guire, who was held as a witness in
case of robbery, made good his es-
cape by the use Of spikes and a chis ].
He removed the bricks from the wall
which is about four bricks thick, and
by SO doing got out into the yard oi
Beeson's furniture store. Two other
prisoners did not avail themselves OF
the opportunity to escape, as Their
sentences terminate to-day and they
thought they could put up with prison
fare a little longer. Captain Fletcher
stated that the Jail was very insecure,
especially cell 10, which he described
as being more like a yard than q
prison and it needed very little skill
or force to effect an escape from thai
place. TIE hole was repaired this at
ternoon, but if there is not constant
watch on this cell it will be an easy
matter for prisoners again to escape

Another fine audience, both in mum

yaret Mather troupe at the Opers
House last night. The Honeymoon il
he only dramatic heirloom be-
queathed the English stage by
John Tobin, a name SO obscure in lit

speare availed himself of in at least
two noted instances-in Katherine and
Petruccio, and in Much Ado Abou.
Nothing. "Juliana" is very mild
form of katherine" and Beatrice. u
1t was probably the temerity of the
author in daring to step upon sacred
ground where the immortal bard had
yrandly trod, that brought upon his
production its infantile difficulties.
But the real dramatic merit Of the
composition, together with its
incidental scenes full of rich
and genuine humor, finally as
sured the success Of the piece.
As rendered last night, The Honey
moon was an enjoyable repre-
sentation. Miss Mather's conception
of the character of ''Juliana" is a just
one. The tendency of actresses is to
make her virago, shrew who is in
a constant rage and who tears her
passion into tatters. But Miss Mather
presents her as high-strung lady,
who is restive under shameful de-
ception but who holds her indignation
within the bounds OF reason. Time
and familiarity with her husband
bring out the wifely qualities by de-
grees, and the true chords of the wo-
man are gradually tuned into harmony
with her lot. This, to our
mind, is the true interpreta-
ton OF the author, and certainly
it is the one which is effective with a
cultivated audience. Mr.. Jepson, as
the 'Mock Duke" gave us some ex-
cellent touches OF low comedy, whilst
Mr.. Peters as "Lopez" was as gro
tesquely ridiculous as could be de-
sired. Mr.. Lcvick's Duke of Aran-
"a" was we'll sustained personation !;
and Mr.. Paulding as Captain
Rolando," the woman-hater, made an
exquisite study out of his part. Mr..
Ranous as CDR. Lamped" and Mrs.
Sol. Smith as the Hostess" were
sisnally successful; whilst Miss
Harold's modest carriage as Gam
ora," and Miss Thompson's wit and
pertnesss as "Volante," furnished
their quota to the success OF the per-
formance.

FAIR ANAHEIM
Home-Seekers, Read Care
fully This Column.

Anaheim is the oldest colony in
Southern California. The settlers
who, in 1857, selected this spot were
men of experience in all the varied
affairs of life. They looked all over
the State and pitched upon Anaheim
as, in all respects, the most attractive
spot they encountered. The history
of the past thirty years, the wealth of
the old settlers, the business done in
the town and the products OF the sec
ton fully justify the choice made by
these prescient colonists.
Anaheim is situated about 26 miles
southeast of Los Angeles on branch
of the S. P. Railway, which is soon to
be developed into main line, termi.~
ating at San Diego. The town is four
teen miles from the Pacific ocean, at
small bay known as the Anaheim
Landing. There are about $500 peo-
pie in the town of to-day, and there
are churches of all the leading de-
nominations, fine public school
about the best in the county-stores
stocked with goods of all sorts, in
abundant supply and of the ve.y best
in the market. There is bank and a
good hotel-with second now build
ing and third quite certain soon to
be begun. Then a large and finely
equipped girls school will be erected
at a very early day. The ground has
been bought-an ample piece, three
and half acres in the very heart Of
the town-and the plans are being
drawn. The streets in Anaheim are
laid out with regularity and they are
broad and smooth, with sidewalks,
and many of them are aligned with
fine shade trees. The residences In
the town are model of neatness and
comfort. The gardens bloom with
rare flowers at all seasons OF the year,
and everything bears an aspect of
thrift and prosperity. such as one
rarely encounters in any town in any
section of the country.
For healthfulness fair Anaheim has
no rival on the coast. The town site
lies on ridge of land, and the con-
tour slopes gently from Anaheim, fall
ing away to the east towards the
Santa Ana river, to the west towards
wide wash and southerly towards
the ocean. The soil is quite pourous
and this contour of the land and the
character of the soil furnish system
of natural drainage which is quite
perfect.
The climate of Anaheim cannot be
surpassed in Southern California.
Northerly lie range OF high mount
aims and IA miles to the south is the
sea. The air currents come from the
southwest and are always refreshing
and bracing because of their pass age
over the unmeasurable expanses Of
the Pacific ocean. Here is the place
for healthful, happy homes for all
comers in search of the very best of
Southern California.

SPECTATORS. READ THIS.

The above description of Anaheim
will be found true in all respects. &c
and see before you buy elsewhere.
True as it is, it is only half the truth.
This town lies in the center OF an inn
mense area OF the finest land on the
good green earth. This stretch OF
country extends for from IA to 80
miles around. 1t takes in the rich
North Anaheim and Placentia country
on the north. Here the new town OF
Fullerton is going up at marvellous
pace. 1t has u hotel, great many
fine residences, and these are being
added to daily. To the south lies the
richest grain, fruit and dairy district
in the State. All about vines, oranges,
nuts, and all the citrus, deciduous,
semitropic and other fruits grown t.
perfection. There is railroad to An
aheim, now, with trains twice each
way daily. There is another railroad
the California Central, now being
built from this point to Los Angeles
1t W III be in operation by the end OF
the year. The s. p. Company con-
templates Il e construction Of line
from their depot in Anaheim through
North Anaheim, Fullerton and Placen
tia. A company is now organized to
build railroad from Anaheim to An
aheim Landing, where harbor is to
be constructed in the near future.
Anaheim is, therefore, to be the
center of very considerable system
of railroads. She will grow from this
on in population, business, wealth and
all the elements of prosperous place.
Remember the boom has just begun
here. Anaheim real estate has scarce
ly risen in price beyond the figures
ruling three or four years ago. While
all around lands are selling at $500,
$500 and $1,000 per acre, the pick OF
Anaheim is still to be had away below
the lowest figure above. With a good
business. unrivaled soil, the best
climate in the country, the most abun-
dant supply of water, crystal clear,
Anaheim lands are held at less than
half the figures asked elsewhere for
property in all respects less desirable
than this. Now is the time to buy.
The boom is on and it will swell to a
full tide in q few weeks.
